    Me being over 40: “I am old, Gandalf. I don’t look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed! Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can’t be right. I need a change, or something.”

        Tbf in your earlier life things like Donald Trump winning the USA presidency was supposed to be a joke, not 8-year-old past history.

        Hey remember that 1.5°C global warning target? 😥

    In Tolkien’s day you were expected to have shellshock or died during childbirth by 20.
